The tithi on 16 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya. A tithi is one lunar day — the time the Moon takes to move 12° further from the Sun — and it governs which observances, fasts and ceremonies suit the day. End times on this page are converted to Welk'it'e local time (Africa/Addis Ababa).
The Moon is in Ardra nakshatra. The zodiac is divided into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′ each; the one the Moon occupies colours the day's character and matters for naming ceremonies, travel decisions and muhurat selection in Welk'it'e.
Today's yoga is Vriddhi. Yoga is computed from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon and cycles through 27 names; some yogas are read as favourable for new undertakings while others counsel routine work.
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Welk'it'e at 6:11 AM and sets at 6:47 PM. Sunrise is the hinge of the whole panchang: the Hindu day begins at local sunrise, and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika and the choghadiya sequence are all equal divisions of the daylight between these two moments.
A panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac that maps each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the constellation the Moon occupies), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). This page carries the complete panchang for Welk'it'e, Central Ethiopia Regional State for 16 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi prevails with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Welk'it'e's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 8.28°N, 37.78°E on Africa/Addis Ababa time, Welk'it'e keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Welk'it'e at 6:11 AM and sets at 6:47 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and every sunrise-bound window — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya spells and Abhijit Muhurat — is measured off that local daylight. Borrow an IST table here and each window slips to the wrong hour; widen the gap enough and the very tithi on your date can differ.
Where do these timings come from? Planetary positions are read from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision dataset used by leading astrology programs, and corrected with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal standard of India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi advances each time the Moon pulls 12° further ahead of the Sun; nakshatra advances as the Moon enters the next 13°20′ division. These instants are universal; we render each in Africa/Addis Ababa time and derive the sunrise-linked windows from Welk'it'e's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.
Diaspora households in Welk'it'e and the wider Central Ethiopia Regional State area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Tuesday, 16 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (12:04 PM – 12:54 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:38 PM – 5:13 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Welk'it'e's own clock.
A panchang is the Hindu almanac that describes each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's constellation), yoga, karana and vara (weekday) — and from them derives the day's auspicious (muhurat) and inauspicious (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda) periods. This page computes all of them for Welk'it'e, Ethiopia.
The daylight between Welk'it'e's local sunrise and sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one fixed part belongs to Rahu depending on the weekday (for example the 8th part on Sunday, the 2nd on Monday). Because Welk'it'e's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.
Rahu Kalam in Welk'it'e on 16 June 2026 is from 3:38 PM – 5:13 PM Central Ethiopia Regional State local time. It is computed from Welk'it'e's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 10:25 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Welk'it'e's timezone (Africa/Addis Ababa).
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Welk'it'e (8.28°, 37.78°) has different sun times than India, so Rahu Kalam, choghadiya and muhurat windows shift — and because of the time difference, even the tithi prevailing on your calendar date can differ from India's. This page is computed specifically for Welk'it'e.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:04 PM – 12:54 PM local time in Welk'it'e.
